* Hi
* Im pretty new to this with ID, "description", false);
if ($description[0]=="") { ?>
Products
'.$description.'';
} ?>
```
* I have difficulties to modify this code to retrive values from more then one
custom field input and putting it out together and inbetween the same .
* **Here is code with one more value added, but im uncearten how to combine thoose
2 values:**
* ```
ID, "Description", false);
$seccond_value = get_post_meta($post->ID, "price", false);
if ($description[0]=="") { ?> // how do i combine 2 values here?
products
'.$description.'';
} ?> // how does this part work and how to i combine 2 values here?
```
* Maybe someone here has a good tip for a good sajt that covers my questions above?

* `if ($description[0]=="") { ?> // how do i combine 2 values here?`
* that line can stay as it is – you don’t need to test for price since a price
could be zero.
* change the output line to
`echo ''.$description.' '.$seccond_value.'
';`

* Thank u!
* Now i got a output of that seccond_value.
* But still only if i have a true statement of that value.
* I guess that a need to do that foreach statement for the seccond value as well,
but how do i combine theese two, or three … for that matter.
* `ID, “Product”, false);
* within the display code:
* ```
'.$descrip.' '.$price.'';
?>
```
* “explode” takes the custom field value and breaks it into 2 using the ampersand
as the separator, creating an array of two elements. Then assign element 1 to
a descrip variable, and element 2 to a price variable. (The array elements start
numbering at zero, which is why the 2nd element is element [1] )
* The problem with using two custom fields that have multiple occurances is you
have no guarantee of the order in which WP will return them in the resulting
array from get_post_meta. In other words, in terms of the order in which the
items were originally entered, if there are 3 of them, the descrip could be returned
in the order 1 – 3 – 2 and the price in the order 2 – 1 – 3 Thus the prices wouldn’t
match up with the descriptions. When you combine them in one field you guarantee
that won’t happen.

* Thanks stvwlf.
* works like a charm, found som minor errors in the code like, { instead of [ at
the temp variable.
* foreach($products as $product // why do we say, $products as $product ?
Is it
so that $ products is a multiple value and we want to declare that we can use
it as $product several times?
* Now i want to implement a ![]()
above each Product.
* Will try to do this when i get home from work, maybe i can manage that myself.

* I think i can use something like this:
`"![](" . $img . ")
"`
* to implemate in this:
* ```
ID, "product", false);
if ($products[0]=="") { ?>
Products
'.$descrip.' '.$price.''; } ?>
```
* Ive tried to put in in after $price, but it gave me error ” blank page “.
* search continues

* Now i continued a bit and got this far:
* ```
ID, "product", false);
if ($products[0]=="") { ?>
Products
'.$descrip.' '.$price.'
![]()
'; } ?>
```
* But i cant get the image to show.
* I print this in custom field product:
* Product&299:-&[http://xxxxxx.com/wp-content/uploads/image.jpg](http://xxxxxx.com/wp-content/uploads/image.jpg)
* Do i miss something so that the server gets that it is a image to fetch?
